Issue: xqueryx-operator-syntax, priority: 3, status: open

This issue asks for comments on the 

                <xqx;[sic]infixOp/>
                <xqx;[sic]opType>+</xqx:opType>

syntax.

Unless I missed something the syntax could be improved by simply dropping all
mention of infixOp. 
All operators are infix apart from unary plus and minus aren't they?

The stylesheet already has to special case unary +/- to use "+" or "-" symbols,
so it could special case them to be non-infix at the same time. It isn't clear
to me that an xqueryx document needs to record the infix nature of an operation
which is part of the concrete syntx of xquery not part of the logical expression
tree.
